From the perspective of visual effects, the feeling brought by this film cannot be described as stunning. The subversive immersive experience seems to break the gap between people and the screen, allowing people to walk in as if they were physically there. The world of the protagonist Billy Lynn, and from his perspective to face the war, to look at the family, to examine the thinking induced by the country, has built the film's excellent inner depth, but the technological innovation is in the film. In fact, it is another double-edged sword. Can it not only pay attention to the novel look and feel, but really enter the perspective of the characters that Ang Lee painstakingly hopes to bring the audience into, and realize his heavy humanistic care, which has become the film's requirements for the audience. .
The core of the film is not anti-war, but a young man's growth and choice after the war. Through film technology, he brings a sense of character and delicate emotional control in a restrained and restrained narrative, inadvertently. The mind is already moved enough by this seemingly peaceful story. Billy Lynn, who is portrayed as a hero, has become the most emotional interior in his loneliness in the infinite scenery, and the movie also makes people truly enter The humanistic concern of anti-heroism is so intriguing in Ang Lee's film. This may not be Ang Lee's best work, but it is his most daring and innovative work, combining technology and art into one, with a high degree of unity of vision and character psychology. The world of grace, just now feels real and sincere.
